Gründliche Anleitung welcher man sich im Nachzeichnen schöner Landschafften oder Prospecten bedienen kan: den Liebhabern der Zeichen-Kunst mitgetheilet und eigenhändig in Kupffer gebracht
A German landscape-drawing manual of 1766 by Johann Daniel Preißler, issued for amateur draughtsmen who wanted to learn to copy fine landscapes, and etched by the author himself. Its plates pair paired scenes side by side: rough pen-and-line sketches on the left, finished tonal views on the right, with trees, hills, rocks and water built up in stages. A designer can take from them the progression from outline to shaded foliage and the way simple bands of hills and lines of trees build a believable distance.
